* WE HAVE MOVED*
Please note we have moved location to 165 King William Rd, Hyde Park

A bistro must be welcoming - with honest food and great wine. Those are the things we all love.” - Fabien Striet (Head Chef), we believe French food shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions. Our menu of classic dishes is prepared to authentic recipes, alongside a few modern takes and seasonal specials. We offer wines sourced from French regions, and a handful of local producers. Dinner available Tuesday to Sunday and Brunch available every Saturday/Sunday.

    Much improved ambience in the new location. Lighting is a bit too bright in the right side room though. Very impressed with the quality and flavour of the food. They also made a perfect French Martini. Pre dinner drinks were a little slow, but worth the wait. Some great wines. We enjoyed a very affordable $68 Pinot Gris from SA. Many of the French wines are expensive, $120 to $180 and staff not familiar with them. Perhaps add a few more wines round the $60 to $80 mark. Overall a very enjoyable evening with polite and friendly staff.

    We have eaten here many times before and at all times we have had a wonderful experience, however, this time our experience was not so great, so not sure if there are new owners, as restaurant location had changed. The service was not good, we waited to get service for drinks, once ordered we waited over half an hour to receive our bottle of champagne after asking multiple time and up to an hour to receive our main course after again asking how long the service would be. Overall a disappointing experience.

    Lovely food, good service. A pleasant experience. The prawns were a stand out. The cheese souffle, even though not as nice as a previous visit, was ok. Chicken parfait a lovely start to our meal & that chocolate sphere was amazing!!

    We decided on two larger courses, the beef cheeks and the cassoulet. The beef cheeks were tender and slightly caramelised and accompanied by a potato puree and baby roasted carrots. The bourguignon sauce was sumptuous. Delicious comfort food in every sense of the word. The cassoulet was also a winner, a crispy, succulent duck leg on a bed of tender haricot beans flavoured with ham, pork sausage and thyme. We enjoyed the tasty garden salad and French fries with this. Both courses were very generous. Two of my friends couldn't eat it all. My piece de resistance was the colourful and delicately constructed dessert. Pistachio flavoured custard was sandwiched between puff pastry slices with raspberries. Gorgeous to look at, easy to eat and not overly sweet. The passionfruit souffle was also a triumph, warm and luscious. The wine list was good, local and French wines were available. We drank a dry, creamy Fumey-Chatelain Cremant du Jura Blanc which was not sweet enough for one of my friends. Hover I enjoyed it with the my main course. The coffee was excellent.
